I made another song about the reality in Gaza.
I hope you really like the message because the video took me a whole day to put it all together. :)
.
In case you want to sing along - here are the lyrics:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Not just Names"
On the seventh of October they crossed the wire,
Hamas shooting their guns and setting things on fire.
Cries of pain and fear soon filled the air,
And blood was spilled about everywhere.
The seventh of October has long passed by,
But Israeli bombs still keep raining from the sky.
Some Hamas were killed, but justice wasn‘t found,
And many innocents now lie beneath the ground.
To most they are just names without a face,
People with no meaning and no proper place.
But let me tell you who they really were,
Even if the Western World won‘t care.
Omar Shawish was a poet full of dreams and fire,
He wrote about peace from a place in the mire.
The Israelis indiscriminately bombed his whole street,
And now his verses lie buried beneath the concrete.
Amira was a painter who loved sunsets on shattered walls,
And her bright colors defied the jet fighter‘s calls.
She dreamt of her own galleries and a spot in the light,
But then got murdered in an airstrike one night.
Ismail Abu Omar filmed with a steady hand,
Showing the world what few would understand.
Then there was a flash of light and silence forever fell,
His last shot was a story he would never tell.
They are not just names written on a page,
But hearts and souls that left the stage.
Their stories remain, even if they‘re gone,
Their hope remains and their fight goes on.
Ahmad danced Dabke through rubble and flame,
Since each step was rebellion, none was in vain.
He moved through the ruins with passion in his core,
Then the Israeli bombs fell and he danced no more.
Yaqeen Hammad shared hope as a smiling guide,
Teaching to survive in the rubble with her heart opened wide.
She brought food, toys and light to children in despair,
But when her home was bombed, her joy ended there.
Mohammed Adwan was only sixteen years old,
He protested for Gaza - bravely and bold.
He wasn‘t even armed and the soldiers were aware,
But one still shot him in the chest because he didn‘t care.
They are not just names written on a page,
But hearts and souls that left the stage.
Their stories remain, even if they‘re gone,
Their hope remains and their fight goes on.
I very much hope that by now you can see,
That all of them were humans - just like you and me.
They laughed, they lived, they loved, they dreamed,
But the IDF had different plans for them, it seemed.

I hope that the song touches you from the bottom of your heart! :)
